Following the seizure, Khan was arrested under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) section for using genuine, forged, or counterfeit currency-notes (489 B), and possession of forged or counterfeit currency notes or bank notes (489 C). The accused was produced before the court on Thursday which granted him police custody.
